Effects of Moderate-intensity Interval Aerobic Exercise (MIIAE) on Inflammatory, Immune, Metabolic, Physical Fitness, and Quality of Life Parameters in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy.
Breast cancer and its treatment with radiotherapy may be associated with systemic inflammatory, hematological, cardiac, body composition, functional and quality-of-life alterations. Exercise has emerged as a non-pharmacological strategy with potential benefits during oncological treatment; however, further evidence is needed regarding the effects of supervised moderate-intensity interval aerobic exercise during radiotherapy.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of a supervised moderate-intensity interval aerobic exercise programme on systemic inflammatory and immune-derived hematological indices, cardiac biomarkers, body composition, muscle strength, lower-limb power, sleep quality and breast cancer-specific quality of life in women with breast cancer undergoing radiotherapy.
Participants will be allocated to either an experimental group performing supervised moderate-intensity interval aerobic exercise during radiotherapy or to a control group receiving usual care without structured exercise during the study period. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after completion of the intervention period.

Experimental: Moderate-Intensity Interval Aerobic Exercise
Participants perform a supervised moderate-intensity interval aerobic exercise programme during the radiotherapy treatment period.
Training is conducted 3 days per week, on alternate days, under the supervision of a physiotherapist experienced in therapeutic exercise in oncology.
Exercise intensity is prescribed individually according to baseline physiological testing, including lactate response, perceived exertion and clinical tolerance.
Participants continue receiving standard oncological care during radiotherapy.
|
Structured and supervised aerobic exercise intervention based on moderate-intensity interval training.
The programme includes repeated aerobic exercise bouts interspersed with recovery periods.
Exercise intensity is individually prescribed and adjusted according to baseline physiological assessment, including blood lactate response, perceived exertion and clinical tolerance.
The intervention is delivered during the radiotherapy treatment period as an adjunct to standard oncological care.
|
|
Kein Eingriff: Usual Care During Radiotherapy
Participants allocated to the control group receive standard oncological care during the radiotherapy treatment period and do not participate in a structured exercise programme during the study period.
Participants are instructed to maintain their usual lifestyle throughout radiotherapy.
After completion of the study, participants in the control group are offered the same supervised moderate-intensity interval aerobic exercise programme delivered to the experimental group.

|
Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII)
Zeitfenster: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately after intervention
|
Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) will be calculated from peripheral blood parameters obtained through standard hematological analysis using an automated analyzer.
The index will be computed using the formula: platelet count × neutrophil count / lymphocyte count.
Blood samples will be collected under standardized conditions after an overnight fast, with participants instructed to avoid vasoactive medication, caffeine, alcohol and tobacco prior to sampling.
Post-intervention samples will be obtained at least 48 hours after the last exercise session to ensure assessment of chronic rather than acute responses.
This composite index will be used to quantify changes in systemic inflammatory and immune status associated with the intervention.

|
|
Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)
Zeitfenster: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately after intervention
|
Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) will be calculated from absolute neutrophil and lymphocyte counts obtained through peripheral blood analysis using an automated hematology analyzer.
This index will be used as a marker of systemic inflammatory balance.
